Song Qingran.

Otherwise, why would Pei Zhan be willing to pay any price to get her?

Jiang Hua didn't know much about Song Qingran in her previous life.

Jiang Hua had checked Song Qingran's information, but Pei Zhan had protected her very well.

Jiang Hua went to great lengths, and when she saw the photo, she almost went crazy!

She saw in the photo a family of three in a high-end restaurant. Pei Zhan was holding the child in his arms, making a wish on the cake. He had never missed the child's birthday all year round. Pei Zhan was always by the side of the mother and child during the most important time of the year.

But... Pei Zhan didn't even remember their wedding anniversary.

In order to give her a proper wedding, Pei Zhan threw a divorce agreement at her.

Jiang Hua refused, and after a big argument, he slammed the door and left, never to return.

The last time we met was... the night before she passed away.

But now, seeing him again, the man standing by the bed is tall and slender.

Jiang Hua, lying on the hospital bed, was completely enveloped by him, her slender and frail body.

Besides the smell of disinfectant from the hospital, Jiang Hua also smelled a pleasant odor of smoke and alcohol on him, and upon closer inspection, she could also detect a sweet scent of another woman.

She stared at Pei Zhan for a long time.

After a long pause, Jiang Hua's mind slowly cleared up.

Jiang Hua lay on the hospital bed, looking at the man in front of her, tears streaming down her face.

Pei Zhan's thin lips were pressed into a sharp curve, his brows and eyes filled with exhaustion. He reached out and cupped her face, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his rough thumb. "...Child, we'll have more in the future." His soft voice gently coaxed her.

"Focus on recovering in the hospital first. I will find the person who caused the car accident. Don't think about anything else."

Jiang Hua did not answer him, but instead looked sadly at the French windows, lost in thought.

After a long while, Jiang Hua slapped his hand away in rejection and turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

Seeing her like this, Pei Zhan didn't say much, but said to her with a hint of concern, "Get some rest, I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Without the slightest hesitation, Pei Zhan got up and left the ward.

Hearing the door close, Jiang Hua stared at it for a long, long time…

Pei Zhan walked out of the ward and stood on the tenth floor, his deep eyes gazing at the night view. Outside the corridor, his assistant, Zuo Xiangnan, walked out of the elevator with a report in his hand. He stopped beside Pei Zhan and said, "...This is Miss Pei's medical report."

"Speak!" Pei Zhan said coldly, without glancing to the side or taking the assistant's report.

Zuo Xiangnan reported directly to him: "...The examination report said that he suffered a comminuted fracture of the leg, a mild concussion, and also suffered very serious internal injuries."

"In addition, the young lady has a congenital hereditary heart disease, and it will probably be difficult for her to get pregnant after this incident."

In short, it's a miracle that the young lady survived.

"The driver fled the scene, and the entire city's police force is searching for him. Ms. Jiang was the sole survivor of the multi-vehicle collision three days ago..."

"Hmm." Pei Zhan's voice was cold, a hint of inexplicable sadness flashing in his eyes.

There was no trace of concern or worry in his voice; instead, it gave the impression of regret that Jiang Hua had survived the car accident.

Despite being his wife, the man only showed coldness and indifference, as if she were someone completely unimportant to him.

"How's the situation on the other side, where flowers are in full bloom?" Pei Zhan suddenly asked.

Zuo Xiangnan replied, "Everything is fine. Miss Song has already started eating."

Pei Zhan strode away from the ward door, not wanting to stay a moment longer. "Next, I'll be going to Hai City on a business trip for a week."

"Hai City? But Mr. Pei, what about your schedule this week...?"

Zuo Xiangnan seemed to realize something, and he immediately fell silent and stopped talking.

Inside a high-end luxury car, the assistant sat in the driver's seat, glancing at the rearview mirror, and asked, "Mr. Pei, shall we go back to Garden or...?"

"Go to the place where flowers bloom in profusion."

"Yes."

On the tenth floor, after the car had driven far away, the nurse approached Jiang Hua's bedside and told her, "Ms. Jiang, the car has left; it drove off to the left."

"I know, thank you for your trouble." Jiang Hua's pale face showed a faint smile. She thought she didn't care anymore, but after hearing this answer, her heart was still shattered into pieces, and she couldn't piece it back together.

"You're welcome." The nurse closed the door until she was alone in the cold ward.

She asked the nurse to check the direction Pei Zhan's car was heading, just to see where he had gone!

However, Pei Zhan wanted to go to the same place as Jiang Hua; he went to Song Qingran's villa.

That was the castle Pei Zhan built for her; she enjoyed everything like a princess.

That night, Jiang Hua was trapped in a nightmare, immersed in her own pain.

In the middle of the night, the nurses found Jiang Hua during rounds that she had a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius.

The doctor, who rushed over in a hurry, frowned as he gave Jiang Hua an injection to reduce her fever. "The injured person's family is really irresponsible. In this state, there's no one around."

"You! Go and call her relatives over."

The nurse said nervously, "...We've already tried contacting them, but the phone is always out of service."

"What about the other people's calls?"

The nurse shook her head: "Apart from that gentleman, no one else left any contact information."

In the end, the doctor had no choice but to find a nurse to watch over her temporarily.

Jiang Hua's critical period is not over yet.

There can be no carelessness whatsoever.

Jiang Hua woke up the next morning, thankfully her fever had subsided.

I groggily opened my eyes and stared at the snow-white ceiling.

She heard light footsteps and someone approaching. "Young Miss, you're awake?"

"Are you still feeling unwell? Tell me where it hurts and I'll go get a doctor for you."

Jiang Hua felt her eyes were swollen and dry, and shook her head. "I'm fine. Where's Dad? Does he know I was in a car accident?"

"Sir doesn't know yet, it was Mr. Pei's assistant who called me and asked me to come and take care of you. Mr. Pei is going to Haishi on a business trip for a week. He said you should stay in the hospital and recover well, and be a good boy/girl. Don't be fooled by Mr. Pei's cold and indifferent nature; he actually cares about you a lot. He asked me to come without his knowledge because he was afraid you would overthink things."

Xu Qiulan was the nanny who raised her and, besides family, was also the closest person to Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua sat on the bed with her eyes downcast. When she was quiet, she was as beautiful as a painting, with delicate features and jet-black, lustrous hair. She was the kind of beauty that you could remember at a glance, with an aggressive quality, like a delicate rose with sharp thorns. But... the Jiang Hua now was a flower without thorns, delicate and fragile.

The Jiang family is the largest jeweler in the capital, and she is the daughter of the largest jeweler.

Seeing that Jiang Hua did not speak, Xu Qiulan said gently, "Miss, if you miss Mr. Pei, you can give him a call."
